paulmbowers 236 Posted April 8, 2013 I have entered the mediation phase of securing clearance for this. It seems there is an social event planned for that evening, which I could normally reschedule. However, it was one that was already bumped once due to motorcycling plans, so I may have to be even more clever and persuasive than is typical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelRain 0 Posted April 8, 2013 If I am back in town by then, I am in. Need to get some seat time with the new load out before the big ride this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRNewmann 0 Posted April 10, 2013 I really want to ride Toro Peak. I also very much would like to get into camping with my bike, but I have no equipment. In for the show and tell most definitely. How much stuff would I have to buy to get myself sleeping on Toro that night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 162 Posted April 10, 2013 I really want to ride Toro Peak. I also very much would like to get into camping with my bike, but I have no equipment. In for the show and tell most definitely. How much stuff would I have to buy to get myself sleeping on Toro that night? This would depend on how comfortable you want to be. Minimum of a tent, sleeping bag and pad. Might not even need a tent if you want to sleep under the stars. You also need to be able to carry stuff on your bike, lots of different options for this. You should be able to cook food on someone else's stove but you need to think about what food you want to eat and you need to carry water. CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much stuff would I have to buy to get myself sleeping on Toro that night? If you're looking for bare-bones camping and just need a place to sleep, I have two extra 3 piece military sleeping sets and you're welcome to borrow one. They include a bivy to stay dry. Found them on the top of a dumpster, but they look clean. One set is already in a backpack to go as it didn't have the stuff sack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much stuff would I have to buy to get myself sleeping on Toro that night? I got a spare tent you can use. In the old days I would just strap a duffle or two on the back of the bike. You can do that for this trip because it is close to home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted April 11, 2013 I may be out for the overnight....:angry2:/> soooo much going on at work, and stack of projects at home , but I still plan to attend the show and tell at least in the morning... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zancat 0 Posted April 12, 2013 I'd like to attend the show & tell. I have a tent and some camping gear, but no bags rack, etc.. It'd be cool to see how it's being done. Also have plans for that night, friends coming into town to visit. Morning works though. Zancat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
